is it possble to hide annotation but keep showing annotate-highlght

[emacs25]

for some reason,i dont want anybody to see my annotations but still keep annotate-highlight,how should i do?

closing annotate-mode disables annotaton but the highlight is disabled too.

This looks like definitely a good idea to me!

Hi @emacs25 !

I have found some free time to start working on this feature! :)

I wrote a couple of function that perhaps can be useful to what you proposed here.

To get the new experimental feature just clone this fork of the package:

https://github.com/cage2/annotate.el/

$ git clone https://github.com/cage2/annotate.el/
$ git switch hide-annotation-text

somewhere in your init file just load the file annotate.el from this fork.

 (load "path/to/cloned/annotate-package/annotate.el")

then you will be able to launch a new command annotate-toggle-annotation-text.

Let me know if it is OK to you. Bye! C.

Hi @emacs25 !

I think the patch #150 implements whet you asked in this thread. It is now possible to hide all the annotation's' text in a buffer or choose to hide the text for the annotation under the cursor.

thanks again

No problem! Take your time and thanks for testing! Bye! C.

i test for both english and CJK characters and they all work as expected.

just a problem maybe:

it will wait for a little time when the text content is too big with a lot of annotations, escpecially for CJK characters.

is there anyway to improve the performance?

Good!

This happens when a single annotation is added or when visiting a file with a lots of annotations?

is there anyway to improve the performance?

Likely yes but i guess it will not be simple, i need to reproduce the issue, first.

BTW thanks a lot for your precious help! I would like to mention you in the 'NEWS.org' file, if you agree let me know how to mention you.

Thanks again for helping improving this package! C.

i will give a full sample to reproduce in 3days,sorry

well,it doesn't matter about name if you like to refer to,and all i do is to make it more powerful for emacs.

and the most contributions are offered by you,thanks

It's fine, no needs to be sorry! We are not in a hurry! :)

But you proposed the idea for this feature, it is also my pleasure to give you the credits i think you deserve! :) BTW, I will mention you as 'emacs-newer', OK? :)

hi i'm back.

i test many times and make sure that the real problem is org mode not annotate.el.

org-cycle plays slowly the same as hide annotations for cjk characters.

so i think we should change a way to do the work.

in my opinion, i have an idea:

just hide/show the current window content inside the screen size.

if there are annotations inside eye area,then hide/show the annotations by hand,and others in current buffer keep as usual.

i think it will play much better and be more suitable for people like me.

[cage2]

Hi @emacs-newer !

I am not sure how and if there is a easy and reliable way to get the portion of text that is visible in a buffer window. If it was not possible what about adding a command that hide all the annotation in a region?

Bye! C.

[emacs-newer]

forget what i said above, that is not a good way

maybe can try this：

just hide/show the cursor position annotation if there is. i just read books and often annotate the part needed to think about deeply, so that's the reason why i wanna hide/show annotations.

because the thought is changed always by life so i can modify them when there is needed.

how about this?

[emacs-newer]

in personally, i want to enable annotate-mode in org-mode automatically but hide all annotations by default, so i add hook to org-mode, but how to hide all annotations by default when annotate mode is on.

and when i press c-c c-a on existed annotation, it just tell me to write new annotation instead of show current annotation to let me modify it.

There is the command: annotate-toggle-annotation-text that hide the annotation under cursor, could this command be the one that you need?

I also thought that settings an hook should do the job, i would write something like:

(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook
          'annotate-toggle-all-annotations-text
          99)

Did you tried something similar to the code above?

No need to blame yourself, we all make mistakes. I make a lot of mistakes, for example! :D

it seems that there is no way to use "custom-set-faces" to add into theme

[cage2]

Hi @emacs-newer !

I am afraid I can not understand what you are trying to do, please can you elaborate?

Bye! C.

[emacs-newer]

sorry, i mean the code can not be added into dark/light theme.el files to work

the theme el files use

(custom-set-faces
.....
)

[cage2]

Hi @emacs-newer !

To accomplish what you want you probably needs to write an elisp function that does two things:

• sets the theme
• then setting the colors fo the annotations using the variables described here:

https://github.com/bastibe/annotate.el/blob/master/annotate.el#L96

and here:

https://github.com/bastibe/annotate.el/blob/master/annotate.el#L101

Bye! C.
